Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your private boat tour from Hvar.

Is this a private tour or a shared group tour?

Every tour is 100% private. Just your group and your skipper, no strangers on board. The route is the route, but it is a relaxed day rather than a timetable: talk to your skipper and, when the sea and the weather allow, there is usually room to linger somewhere you love.

What is included in the price?

Every tour always includes your private boat, a local skipper and fuel, with no hidden fees. The price you see is the total for the whole boat. Anything else, such as snorkeling gear, drinking water or an ice-box, depends on the boat, so check the What's included list on each tour and the boat's details. Lunch and cave entrance tickets, like the Blue or Green Cave, are optional: they are yours to choose on the day and are paid on the spot.

How long are the tours?

Full-day tours run from approximately 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Timing is flexible and can be adjusted with your skipper.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

You can cancel any time, but the reservation deposit is not refunded. Cancel more than 10 days before departure and the tour price is refunded in full; within 10 days it is not. Changing the date is usually the better move: it is free more than 48 hours before departure. A date change is not a refund, so your total stays the same, and if the new date costs more you pay the difference. If the operator cannot run the tour, for example in unsafe weather or if the boat is out of service, and no other date suits you, everything you paid is refunded.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Safety comes first. Specific stops such as the Blue Cave depend on sea conditions, weather and harbour-authority access, so they are never guaranteed. If conditions require it, your skipper may adjust the route for safety. When a reasonable alternative of comparable value is available, the tour still goes ahead and counts as provided. Uncomfortable weather is not the same as unsafe weather, and not liking the forecast is not a cancellation right. If a tour genuinely cannot run, the operator will contact you directly. The operator monitors conditions and reaches out 24 to 48 hours before your tour.

How do I pay, and is payment secure?

You pay online by card, securely through Stripe. Your card details never reach our servers. Depending on the operator, you either pay a reservation deposit now and the rest of the tour price directly to your skipper on the day, or the full price online, in which case nothing further is owed to the operator. The exact amount is always shown before you confirm. Optional extras such as lunch or cave entrance tickets are paid on-site either way, in cash or by card.

Where is the meeting point?

Your operator confirms the exact meeting point after booking. Each operator sets their own departure point, so it is shown with your booking rather than here. Your confirmation email and your booking page carry the precise location, how to find it, when to arrive and your skipper's contact. Have a special request? Message your skipper in advance via WhatsApp.
